HABA Big Magic Leaf Ball Review

October 21, 2012 by 2 Comments

HABA is a very environmentally-friendly company. Their products can be found nationwide at over 1,000 U.S. specialty retail stores and in catalogs, as well as on the internet. Many of their products have been recognized with German and American awards, including Parents’ Choice, National Parenting Center, Creative Child, and Dr. Toy. HABA received Best Toys of the Year recognition fron the TODAY Show Toy Test and has been featured in national magazines such as American Baby, Baby Talk, Fit Pregnancy, Parenting, Parents and Working Mother.

With all of this in mind, I was VERY excited to try out their Magic Ball Leaf, Big (Ages 6+ Months). It is fron their 2012 line of Pure Nature Organic toys. There are a total of eight toys in this line. All of the “Pure Nature” products are tested in a CPSC accredited laboratory, which specifically controls harmful substances. The Magic Ball Leaf, is a very pretty ball with pastel colors, and different designs, as well as some fun “surprises” in each leaf. This is a great sensory toy. The ball itself is made from high quality organic cotton, and filled with polyester for easy washing & healthy drying.

My Thoughts:

I couldn’t be more impressed with HABA, as well as this ball! As you can see in my picture, my daughter absolutely adores the ball. It is one of her favorite toy to play with, as well as to hit around on the floor and crawl to it and over it! I like how it has a rattle, a squeaker, [Read more…]

Amamante Night and Day Nursing Bra Review and Giveaway

October 16, 2012 by 15 Comments

I was fortunate enough to be able to do a review on the Style 2012 Night & Day nursing Bra from Amamante Nursingwear. As any nursing mother knows, a good bra is truly your “best friend.”

The soft, comfortable material is thin and very breathable. It does have a wide elastic band for support. It is designed in such a way, that it is very easy to push out of the way, and you don’t have to worry about messing with the clasps. I have found that it is extremely comfortable! I enjoy wearing it most times. It also is comfortable enough, that I really don’t mind wearing it at night either!

This bra fits from B to D cup sizes, you just have to get your band size, and it fits!! It is a great bra for when you are pregnant, or when you are nursing and your size is constantly fluctuating.

The Night and Day Nursing bra, is the same one that is integrated into their Signature nursing nightgown and the Serenity Nursing Pajamas, which is great for comfort.

Honeywell EnergySmart® Surround Select Ceramic Heater Review

October 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment

With winter just around the corner, who doesn’t have the need for a Space Heater? I live in the middle of Kansas, where we have extremely cold winters!! My husband is definitely pretty frugal (I think that’s the best way to put it 🙂 ). He always likes to wait and see how long he can wait to turn on the heat. It was definitely no big deal when it was just the two of us, because I LOVE to snuggle up with blankets, but now that we have 2 younger children, it really isn’t an option for us to do!!

This past weekend it was already in the high 20s/low 30s! I was all for turning on the heater, but my husband of course was reluctant! SO, I recently received the Honeywell EnergySmart Surround Select Ceramic Heater to review! I couldn’t have been any happier. I KNEW this is one product that I most definitely could thoroughly test, as well as get some great use out of!

I decided it was definitely time to break it out of the box!! I got it out and read some of the instructions, to make sure that I didn’t mess anything up 🙂

Here are some of the features of the Heater:

  • Ceramic Technology for quiet, even heating
  • EnergySmart Digital Controls
  • 180 degree feature for directional heating
  • 360 degree tip over protection
  • Cool TouchCarrying Handle
  • Two heat modes
  • Programmable thermostat
  • 1-8 hour timer
  • 3 year warranty


My Thoughts:

I absolutely LOVED it. It works wonderful. Our living room is fairly large, so I wasn’t sure that it would be able to warm us up, but it definitely did. We were almost to the point of being hot. I LOVE the Cool carrying [Read more…]
